Hart's New Scheme.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 20.-Gates A.
Hart, eX-manager of the Louisville Base
Ball club and now in charge of the Mil
waukee club, Of the Northwestern
league. arrived i'll Louisville yesterday.
1t developed to-day that Hart is here to
buy the Louisville Association clubs
franchise and players. The Louisville
clubs directors seem to be agreeable
and the only question is the one of price.
Hart's plan is to transfer the Louisville
franchise to his Milwaukee club and
peddle out the surplus players. He will
keep Ramsey, Hecker, kerins, Cook.
Collins, White. Mack and Werrick. This
would give him very strong team for
the association, as the present Mil
waukee club has some good men. Hart
is well backed financially and there is
strong probability of the deal.

Meeting Of Northern Pacific
officials, Which Develops

The Red River Valley Road
Now Almost Sure Of
Completion.

There was great rejoicing at the Min
nesOta g. Northwestern headquarters in
this city yesterday. caused by the in
formation received of the doingS of Mr..
Stickney, the president of the Mime
sofa & Northwestern, in Chicago. Some
time ago the GLOBE announced that
Mr.. Stickney had purchased an immense
tract OF land at l. yOns. little suburb of
Chicago. For something more than a
week he has been in Chicago negotiat-
ing to have the big packers join him in
plans are changed before the week is
out Armour & Co., the Allerton
Packing company, the Swifts and
Batsford, of the Chicago Pack
ing q Provision company, will
sign contracts pledging themselves to
leave the old union stock yards and
move their business to the new yards,
which will be opened at Lyons. 1t may
also be stated that the Milwaukee u st.
Paul, the Northwestern, the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy, the Illinois Cen
tral, the Alton and the other great roads
have signed contracts taking interests
in the new yards. This, of course, means
the abandonment of the old union stock
yards. The cattle and hogs and the
commission men will have to follow
Armour, Swift and the other packers.
When Mr.. Stickney bought the tract of
land referred to at Lyons, and an
nOunced that he proposed to establish a
stock yards and transfer, the scheme
WAS LAUGHED AT.
He kept right on though, and after he
got his land bought and his corporation
going, Stickney set at work On the pack
erS and, referring to the tract of land he
had secured, said to them: eff they
would move there with their packing
houses the property becomes worth at
least S10,OOO,OO0. If you will go with me
we will issue bonds for $40, ,OO0, 900, build
you new houses larger and better than
those at the Union stock yards and we
will also give you an interest in the
corporation" Mr.. Stickney then Wis
tied the great Western roads and told
them that they were compelled to pay
the Union stock yards 50 per car for
switching and promised that if they
would sign contract to go to the new
yards at Lyons, he would not charge
them anything for switching and would
feed the cattle for less than the old COM
pany charged. This caused all the
packers to join the arrangement. The
railroads accepted the proposition as
readily as the packers. Instead of pay
ing from $4,000 to $1,000 per day for
switching charges, they will get it done
at Lyons for about 35 cents per car.

That is the Way People are Flock
ing Into Fargo After Indemnity
Lands.
Special to the Globe
FARGO, OAK, Oct. 2O.-The trains
from the north and south to-day and to-
night have been as crowded as yester-
day with the Squatters coming in to
file tomorrow on the indemnity lands.
Over one hundred came in from Lisbon
tonight. Most of them are NOrwegians
and Swedes. not very familiar with the
laws, and enthusiastic in the faith that
they are about to secure some of the
finest farms in Dakota in fine state of
cultivation, and the entire force of land
attorneys are actively aiding them to
get rid of their S25 for making out pa
pers. 1t is estimated that there are
nearly 1000 of them in town, and those
who have their papers made out are
already moving to the outer doors of
the land office, with supply of pro-
visions for siege. 1t will be long
siege for some of them, las they will have
to form in line and take their turns.
The office opens at 9 a. m. and closes at
4, and it is estimated that it will take ten
minutes for each claimant, which will
allow hardly fifty out of the 1000 or so to
get in tomorrow. There are several aged
ladies among the land seekers. There
is a good deal of excitement over the
matter and the town is thronged. About
half of those filing have first to take
out citizens papers. 1t is stated that
there are 1895 quarter sections open to
settlement in this land district, and
squatters are the most of them. They
will, it is figured, leave from $751; 900 up
ward in Fargo before those filing, for
which Fargo will be thankful.

WINNIPEG, Man., Oct. 2O.-A dispatch
from NOrquay, now in Montreal, to
members of the government here, an
nounces that he has succeeded in eff
fecting an arrangement by which the
Red River Valley road will be COM
pleted this year. Messrs. Norquay and
Hamilton, as was we'll known, went
East to complete negotiations with their
principals, who are no less than Messrs.
Mann and Holt, well known railway
contractors. When Norquay failed i'm
his efforts to raise S1,OOO,OO0. he opened
correspondence with Holt to see what
could be done. The result was that in
a very brief time Holt, who has strong
financial backing in New York, formed
a syndicate of ten, each subscribing
$4,000. They will take provincial
bonds, which will be indorsed by
Messrs. Mann and Holt. With this
amount, and the 100000 to be supplied
by the city of Winnipeg, the contractors
will have enough to complete the work
this year. MessrS. Mann and Holt ex-
pressed perfect confidence in the bonds
and were quite ready to accept them for
before stated, Mr.: Norquay went East to
conclude negotiations, which had
been brought as far as possible
by means of correspondence. 1t
is understood that all amounts
due on the rails have been paid, and
that they will move forward forthwith.
Great satisfaction is felt over the ar
rangement being made with Holt, as he
is known to be strong friend of the
province. having large interests here:
besides that he does not fear an injunc-
ton, for he was specially employed on
the Credit Valley road in Toronto to
fight inlunctions, position which he
filed with credit to himself and profit
tol the company. Hon. Mr.. Lariveere
sent for Messrs. j. HI. Ashdoun and
Aid. A. Macdonald this afternoon and
informed them that he would be pre-
pared by next Monday to give them
absolute assurances that the road would
be built this year, and requesting that
they be ready with the money prom
ised. 1t is understood that Mr.. Holt
will be here in few days, and that
work will be Immediately commenced.
Mr.. Holt has made such arrangements
with the Northern Pacific that he will
be able to get all the material required

Have No Use For 10.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.-A London dis
patch says: l have reason to believe,
writes the London correspondent of the
Leeds Mercury, that the American gov
ernment has conveyed an intimation to
Lord Salisbury that the bitterness of
Mr.. Chamberlain's anti-lrish speeches
will not facilitate the settlement of the
fisheries question. President Cleveland
and his colleagues are afraid that Mr..
chamberlain may be met by hostile
demonstrations in the United States,
and if any such incidents occurred it
would not only be awkward for the
English commissioner. but would also
tend to prejudice any agreement that
might be arrived at. If Mr.. Chamber
lain and the American government
come to an agreement there is consider
able risk that the senate, under the in
fiuence of the Irish vote, may be in
dnced to veto it. No treaty with the
United States is valid unless formally
approved by the senate, and the Ameri-
can government is afraid that Mr..
Chamberlain's language will materially
affect the action of that body in regard
to it,

DROPPED DEAD.
The Memphis Race Course the
Scene of a Sad Event.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 2O.-The pro-
gramme arranged for to-day at the races
was interrupted by sad occurrence.
The second race had been contested,
and Cleaner had won after driving
finish with White Nose. The large
crowd were in the best of spirits, and
the bO0kmakerS were merrily singing
out their odds for the Peabody hotel
handicap, which was the next event on
the card. President H. A. Montgomery,
with party of friends, had left the
house, where the delegates of
waterways convention, now in ses-
sion here, were being entertained as
guests of the Jockey club. The refresh
ment room was crowded and several
short speeches had been made in honor
of the occasion, when Col. Montgomery
entered the room. Calls were made on
him for speech. In response Col.
Montgomery said:
Gentlemen: am glad to welcome you to
the grounds of the Memphis Jockey club, ON
behalf of the members and myself. You are
welcome.
As he ceased speaking he fell back
dead in the arms of friend. It was
thought at first that he had only tainted,
and medical attention was prompt in
trying to revive him, but his condition
was soon made manifest. He had died
of heart disease. When the announce
ment was made that Col. Montgomery
was dead, the saddest of scenes was
witnessed. His three daughters and
son, S. r. Montgomery. secretary of the
Jockey club, were grief-stricken, and
they were not the only mourners over
the dead body. Everyone in the room
was affected, and the scene of joy was
at once changed to that of sorrow.
When the grand stand and horse
owners heard of the sudden
death they were unanimous in their
expressed wishes for the judges to post
pone all the other races on the pro-
gramme, which was promptly done by
Vice President John Overton, Jr., and
all bets on the Peabody hotel handicap
were declared Off. The following is the
result of the races run prior to Col.
Montgomery death:

eighths of a mile-Hilda won by a short neck

ex-Attorney General Wilson, stated that
they had acted in good faith all the way
through, and that they had returned
their records to this place as soon as it

court. The business of the county will
be transacted at this place in the future.
The register of deeds has not returned

was the refusal of the heart to operate,

WnaC PRESIDENT Potter, OF the
Union Pacific, May do on Rates.
Vice President Potter, of the Union
Pacific, has gone west to look over the
ground at Butte City, and Helna, Mont,
and see what can be done to anticipate
and provide against the advent of the
Manitoba extension, and consequent
extra compensation. 1t is reported that
his efforts to persuade the Manitoba
people to hold to tariff on the opening
of their new Montana line, was not en-
tirely successful. 1t is well known to
those who are familiar with railroad
affairs in st. Paul that the Manitoba,
several weeks ago, had its tariff of rates
all completed, and further, that these
rates constituted a very decided cut.
1t is also known that President Potter
was here week or more ago, laboring
with the Manitoba people, to induce
them not to make cut. All he could
get was an agreement to make tenn
pOrary delay. 1t is now asserted that,
1nasmuch as he could do nothing with
the Manitoba, he may, after looking
over the situation, ,tcOnclude to anticipate
the inevitable and put in new tariff on
Union Pacific account. before the Mani
tOba makes its connection with Helena.
